We threw out the “are white kitchens becoming passe” question three years ago. Now, three years later, they’re still going strong. (The two makeovers featured in this post are recent additions to the Internet’s white kitchen collection.)
As someone who scours blogs for such room makeovers, I’m getting a little less surprised by them. Honestly, what really surprises me these days is a kitchen that doesn’t end up white after its makeover.
How about you? Are white kitchens still all the rage in your book or are you over white kitchens?
I think white rooms period are passe. I get so tired of seeing rooms start off with character and color, and ending up sterile, white, and like every other room I’ve seen everywhere. I get excited about colorful, fun makeovers.
People have been saying that white kitchens, granite, and stainless steel are going out of style for the last 15 years, and yet they’re all still going strong.
I think it helps to remember that most home owners aren’t scouring home decor blogs everyday (especially if they aren’t in the process of redecorating), so they aren’t tired of seeing them. I can’t tell you how many people have literally said “wow” the first time they saw my kitchen, because they’ve never seen black cabinets before!
Even for many homeowners who do regularly visit decor blogs, white kitchens are still beautiful, bright, and worth of consideration. Ultimately, when it comes to your house and your money, do what you love; don’t worry about if others will think it’s passé.
